This is My Story

Growing up, I was a competitive gymnast. For as long as I could remember, gymnastics was my whole world. From the time I was 6 years old, I told my dad I wanted to be in the Olympics when I grew up. As I got older, that dream turned into wanting to compete in college. At a young age I had amazing coaches who believed in me and pushed me to be the best I could be. They helped me to chase my dream and that’s where I discovered my passion as a young athlete.

I will never forget the day that dream was cut short due to an ACL injury. Gymnastics was the only thing I ever knew and I was unsure of what door was going to open next. I knew one day I would find my passion in something new. I started working out in the gym and fell in love with it. That led me to bodybuilding, and becoming a part of Tfit.

From the first time I met Tina, I knew this was the start of a new journey in my life. She saw that same fire in me that my coaches had seen as a little girl. Tina took me under her wings and I competed in my first figure competition. I knew right then that I had found that same fire and drive I had been searching for again. I began to share my journey, not realizing that I was inspiring others around me.

That is what inspired me to become a personal trainer and go to school to become a Registered Dietitian. I have become fascinated with the science of nutrition and I love teaching others how important living a healthy lifestyle is. I want to share this with others and show them that it is possible to achieve any health or fitness goal they dream of. I believe that with faith, hard work, and dedication, anything is possible!! I continue to chase after my dreams of becoming an IFBB Figure Pro one day and I hope to inspire and help others to begin their own fitness journey. No matter what your health and fitness goals may be, I want to help you reach them and make them a reality!
